Scientists on show

 

THE great minds of Kongwak Primary School were put to the test at a science expo held last Wednesday.

Each senior student selected a topic to study and created an activity and presentation to showcase.

A diverse range of topics were put on display, including genetics, chemistry, astronomy, nutrition, magnets, the digestive system and zoology.

Model were exhibited and games played by parents, teachers and junior students. Visitors were encouraged to test the students on their knowledge throughout the morning.

“The Grade 6 students were also working on their fantastic racers during this time, which is part of their transition into Year 7,” teacher Anna Wilson said.

“We have five students going off to secondary school next year.”

While the senior students have been busily putting together their science projects, the junior students have had their hands full creating picture story books, which were also shown during the expo.

Students were asked to compose a story, edit it, publish in on the computer, and finish it with illustrations.

Parents were wowed by the creativity of the students and treated to morning tea.
